How Do I Enable Email Verification in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:45 pm

Email verification is a process of validating an email address to ensure that it is both real and belongs to the person who provided it. There are many reasons why you might want to enable email verification for your WooCommerce store, such as:

1. To prevent fake accounts from being created

2.

To make sure that only people with a valid email address can create an account

3. To reduce the amount of spam that your store receives

Email verification can be done in a number of ways, but the most common method is to send an email to the address that was provided when the account was created. This email will contain a link that must be clicked in order to verify the account. Once the account has been verified, the user will be able to log in and access their account.

PRO TIP: Email verification in WooCommerce can be a useful tool to prevent fake accounts and spam, but it can also cause problems for legitimate users. If you enable email verification, be sure to test it thoroughly before enabling it on your live site. Otherwise, you may find that legitimate users are unable to create accounts or login.

There are a few plugins available that will handle email verification for you, but we recommend using the HMS WooCommerce Email Verification plugin. This plugin is simple to use and will take care of all of the necessary steps for you.

To enable email verification in WooCommerce:

  1. Install and activate the HMS WooCommerce Email Verification plugin.

Once the plugin has been installed and activated, you will need to configure it by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts > Email Verification. From here you can select which type of email verification you would like to use and configure the settings for each method.

  1. Enable email verification for your store.

Once you have configured the plugin settings, you will need to enable email verification for your store. You can do this by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Accounts > Registration. From here, you will need to check the box next to “Enable email verification” and then click on the “Save changes” button.

  1. Test email verification.

After you have enabled email verification, you should test it out to make sure that it is working properly. The best way to do this is to create a new customer account on your store and see if you receive the verification email. If everything is working correctly, you should receive an email with a link that you must click in order to verify your account.

Email verification is a great way to prevent fake accounts from being created on your WooCommerce store. By sending a verification link to the user’s email address, you can be sure that only people with a valid email address can create an account on your store. This can help reduce spam and make sure that only genuine customers have access to your store.
